Hey Guys

I would just like to know, whether anyone can explain to me how to use Remote Desktop control..

Because i heard you can use that to control another computer but using the network..

(i'm running window , but the computer i want to control is running XP)

THanks
 
Tie a long rope to the pc you want to control. Run the rope through the door to another room where the other pc is. Throw the other pc through a window. The 1st one will follow. This is remote pc control.

Remote desktop connection, however, is a little less brutal. Read the help file.

if you want to remote to a pc on the same network, you have a few options, 1 easiest to setup windows remote desktop, VNC or if you want to remote to a desktop over the internet, then you can use team viewer

All the applications work on multi platforms

From my expirience,i found a couple of issues using both team viewer and rdc . With team viewer, the user you connecting to needs to give you some security key which means you must pick up the phone or wait for an email before proceeding :erm:. With rdc, i need to have logged into the person's machine using my credential or else his machine only recognises me as an intruder even if we use the same domain :confused: .Another problem is that if the user is already logged on and i manage to log onto their pc,the user is automatically logged out :wtf:
 
Interesting discussion! Feeling great to be a part of this forum, hope we can share more info regarding the internet security and control.
 
Well I just want to be able to control the other computer using my computer..

something like that..

At my high school, they can do that..

But then I think they all run on a huge server..

So I don't know.. ><
